Vlaamse overheid gaat bloedbad plegen in culturele sector maar bovenal erfgoedsector. Ééntje uitgelicht: provinciale archeologische musea verliezen _alle_ subsidies.
Volgende keer dat de regering wil uitpakken met haar groots natieverhaal, smijt een exemplaar van de Vlaamse Canon in hun richting.

An army marches on its stomach
The French Navy, in so much as it's possible, sails on a sea of wine.
Finding the wine cellar on plans of French warships is one of my favourite games, tbh. There's usually at least one.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

Hittegolven kostten Belgische economie mogelijk 6 miljard euro
De hittegolven van deze zomer hebben de Belgische economie mogelijk tot 6 miljard euro gekost. Dat meldt Cerac, het centrum dat klimaatrisico’s voor België analyseert. Dat is ongeveer 1 procent van het bruto binnenlands product en is grotendeels te wijten aan de daling van de arbeidsproductiviteit.

Nog gigantisch veel werk in Vlaanderen voor veilige fietspaden.
@groen.be wil dit prioritair aanpakken. Veilig kunnen fietsen is geen luxe, maar een noodzaak.
De Ridder kan dit effectief doen, want zij zit aan de knoppen. Waar wacht ze op?
